I gave my light a face
I designed a better place
We brought wasted lives to heaven
I gave my light a taste
Drove it down that road again
But it was supposed to die somewhere

And I was pacing away
I was a high school renegade
That's how I got by then
They had me chase it away
I made a bet with my mistakes
That's how I wound up here

So now I'm hoping you'd stay
We'll take our time if we get away
Take a trip back
And if it's ticking away
Don't make me deserve my heart again
It was all I was given
